And tonight does the infantile way. Her body was hidden. covered in life vests and crammed under a bunk point directly to her killer. Amidst claims her family is giving off bad optics, that they're more concerned with covering for her stepbrother suspect than about their dead daughter. I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories.
What happened to Anna Kepner on the cruise ship?
I want to thank you for being with us. The teen stepbrother is the main suspect in Anna's chokehold asphyxiation.
There are so many confusing details about this case. When is something going to happen? When is there going to be an arrest? When are the answers going to come out?
Tonight joining us, in addition to an all-star panel of experts, is the man who captured video of Anna Kettner, the teen cheerleader found stuffed dead, we still don't know whether she was clothed or unclothed, crammed under a bunk on a cruise line, there she is, obscured by life vests. Her body there for hours and hours before anyone even notices she's missing? Where were the parents for Pete's sake? Nobody knows she's not at breakfast. Nobody notices she doesn't turn up for lunch. Nobody checks on her the night before. How long had she been stuffed under that bunk? But we know this. A guy named Nick Giddens was taking video on the cruise line of a big party the night before, a dance party. And here she is.
There is Anna, so happy, so full of life, dancing in a line dance. It's hard to accept. She would be dead, her body decomposing on fire. A cruise trip. Anna Kettner, the last dance video. Now that is from our new friend, Nick Capo. That's Nick Capo 609 on TikTok. And he's with us tonight. Nick, thank you for being with us.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
Nick, what happened? How did you manage to take that video?
So that was the cellarway party. That's the part to get the crew started when we start sailing away from port, within port of Miami. And my family's also in the video until I was recording them, but just going around and panning around, showing everybody having a good time and stuff like that. And that's basically what it was.
When you took the video, you had no idea that Anna Kepner would be murdered within hours. When did you realize the video that you took showed her, as it's called, last dance.
I didn't notice her until after the cruise was over. I posted the video that day, November 2nd, but it was after everything happened and stuff like that. where somebody commented on a video, I mean, on a video, and they said that, like, oh, my God, that's the girl that, you know, that got killed. And then I went back and watched it, and then when I watched it, and I seen her right there, and I seen her grandma and everything, too, and that's when I changed it up a little bit and, you know, put the stuff on there, and that's when I re-posted it or uploaded it again to a game where, you know, to put attention to it, basically.
And I'm just wondering, what else, if anything, does the video show? The suspect tonight, still no arrest. Now over 75 days later, nothing. I wonder if this video shows anything else of probative value. In other words, does it prove anything? I wonder if the stepbrother is anywhere in this video.
i wonder if he was there that night who was she dancing with nick we've been told she was dancing with her grandma yes her grandma um and also there's actually two videos was uh you know the two songs plans that why i'm seeing song within his uh cupid shuffle song um i can't remember which one the grandpa was in uh but one of them i don't know i don't i never know what the stepbrother looked like honestly i don't know if he was in the video or not
And here she is in that second clip that Nick managed to video dancing, and it shows she's dancing with her grandparents. Let's look. You know what, Nick Giddens? I am so glad that you took that video and realized what it was and posted it, because it shows her Anna Kepner to me in a different light.
